The October 16, 2015, Law360 article, “O’Melveny Clears Aviation Practice For Takeoff,” notes that the group brings “formal internal cohesion to the firm’s long-running representation of major airlines and other aviation clients.” O’Melveny partner Robert Siegel, who is head of the practice, was interviewed for the article. He told Law360 that the move was a “client-oriented” endeavor. “We've got a lot of legal specialists in different disciplines, and one of the things that we see is that expertise in the industry has become very valuable to our customers,” he said.

Siegel is also a member of the Labor and Employment Practice. He resides in O’Melveny’s Los Angeles office.
